Targeted Networking for Your Next Career Move
I gained clarity about what I want from my career and the values that underpin it. The anxiety around uncertainty has eased — now I have tools to work with that feeling. My confidence in decision-making has grown because I now have clear criteria to guide my choices.
I was surprised that in the fifth session, I noticed changes not only in the career area, but also in other areas of life. This included family, finding balance, attitude to discipline, self-esteem, and communication.
The sessions with Evgeniya helped me a lot to get through the next stage of uncertainty in my career development. Openness, lack of even a hint of judgment and Evgeniya's background, which is somewhat similar to mine, helped to make the sessions as comfortable and effective for me as possible.
Internally defining my personal priorities feels like it has put my career and self-esteem on such solid pillars, instead of a vague soupy mishmash. This certainty helps me prioritize in the moment and look boldly into the future, checking career opportunities/perspectives against my personal values.
And just my 5 highlighted values from the 5 stories became the perfect solutions to my own goal for the session - to find 5 key qualities of myself at the moment. The puzzle is complete, the goal is achieved!
I really enjoy coaching and like Evgeniya's approach - lots of questions, a structured approach to the session, bringing reflection back to the client, reminding them of important thoughts spoken during the session.
Probably the coolest realization of the group session was that I am not alone. That even those who I see as cool, confident, and accomplished just like me have doubts and worries.
I have clearly articulated my values and also created a hierarchy. Now it is much easier to orient myself when choosing a career path.
I learned one important personal value that I hadn't thought about before, and now I can draw on it when choosing a job or in my daily routine.
In the month that followed, with Evgeniya's help, I better understood my values, found some potentially interesting industries and started to explore them.
I liked the trusting atmosphere created by Evgeniya, which made me feel comfortable to share my views and feelings. In the future, I would like to have 1:1 coaching with Evgeniya.
Before working with Evgeniya, I had no experience with coaching sessions, so I felt nervous and unsure about what to expect. I ended up really enjoying both the process and the outcome — I would even say it exceeded my expectations.
I really liked the exercise, I would like to use it in the future to perhaps be able to articulate my abilities even more clearly.
I was convinced that I had acted in the right direction before, I calmed down internally, because I realized that I was not alone in doubting and worrying when I needed to praise myself.
I have shifted my focus away from the negative, now it will be easier to celebrate the positive. I have a deeper understanding of myself, which gives me confidence in my actions.
I liked that Evgeniya listened to the problems of all the coaching participants and was able to summarize them into a number of topics to deal with, from which we could jointly choose a topic for the meeting. I received a tool to monitor my condition and advice on how I can continue to improve it.
